Re: the end result of the SJW plague.

I have read several posts over the last couple of years, wherein people have stated that the SJW plague will burn itself out with never ending purity tests.  That appears to be underway; but I don't believe the ship will right itself prior to the bankrupting of productive society as a whole.  There will be an ongoing cost. 

Arguing about RPGs, may one day seem silly.  Many who happen to belong to younger generations, are very deficient in practical knowledge about productive endeavors.  What they think or how they feel, are far more important than reality.

Let the Dice, Decide the Outcome.  Accept the Results.

It's worth pointing out that it burns itself out not because of the SJWs running out of steam, but because people (such as the members here) keep talking about how moronic their actions are.

I'll go farther. While the purity tests tend to purge out some of the people who could be reached, it leaves the hardcore believers who will work even harder to make their mission work. Hell, Hitler, dark lord of progressivism, used the purity tests to solidify Nazi control of Germany. So, no, the plague will not end with the SJW purity tests; it will make them even more dangerous.

The SJWs are ultimately a distraction because the people with the real wealth and power are using them as useful idiots to get things they want. Which is basically cementing control over every human being & the entire planet through currency & technocratic systems.

I think it's more of a case of misery loving company. I mean, have you taken a good look  at these people. They share three common traits: Unhinged, self destructive, miserable.
What they need is a full time psychiatrist in order to readapt into becoming contributing members of society. It's easier to ignore them, when they don't get the reaction they crave they'll simply crawl back under their rocks.

You're correct on your assessment Felix but that actually doesn't negate what Zelen is saying.

Since the elites can use them as a lever, the SJWs are both being amplified and having their mental issues reinforced.  That means they'll never have to readapt until they are no longer useful to the elites at which point it won't matter.

No shrinks needed.

Force them into physical labor in the outdoors. They'll be fine in 6 months. They need to unplug, STFU and dig some ditches, fill some holes and eat meals exhausted and covered in sweat.

Eight years ago people were saying "they're just a few crazies on Tumblr" but since then it's only gotten worse. I don't see any sign of things ending soon, especially not now so many of them realise how much money there is to be made on the grift. I doubt many people here could resist grinning their way through a cushy 'diversity officer' job where all you need to do is tell people they're evil via Power Point a few times a month and roll in the cash.

  I think you may underestimate people.  If all I ever wanted to do was make plenty of money, there are plenty of ways I or others could do that.  Going out of your way to do something you know is harmful and horrible to make money makes a person a little evil.  People who do a job like that and dont "know" its terrible, well..evil is evil.   
 
    What I DO think is true is plenty of people making good salaries just keep their mouths shut when they get a dose of mandatory training from these sorts of people.   If all the people who got a tingle to speak up all did, well that might change something.  Given about 80 percent of the population is a wage slave to debt, I do not forsee people en masse doing too much about it.

You are correct about this...but it also the weak link.  If the economy truly breaks the debt slaves will have nothing left to lose. 
This is why they have the whole 'avoid economic collapse at all cost' dial turned up to 11.

   Well, the last ditch effort to prevent economic collapse is usually a war.  In this case I wonder how effective the establishment will be in convincing the would be soldiers in a 'necessary' war to risk life and limb for a nation that hates a whole bunch of them.

Depends on how the military breaks down...it takes enlisted to do the shooting, and that is hard to say.  If they knew they had control for sure, they wouldn't be rocking the boat.  In this type of situation that is counterproductive.

That is also one of the reasons they keep pushing the 'race' angle...it would give them a 'legal' cover to use blue helmets. 
Given how the legal system it looks right now, I'm not even sure they care about the appearance of a fig leaf cover anymore but it merits some thought.

Of course that choice also carries certain risks as well, because you have to have common support to enforce an internal action unless the population is unarmed.
